Yes, you can rip your Blu-Ray Collection - ISO and MKV are the popular formats after ripping.

Unfortunately, the Xbox 360 cannot play MKV natively, you will have to transcode with something like PS3MediaServer or TVersity on the fly so the xbox 360 can play. The faster the PC, the quicker the transcode.

My sig rig setup was less than $500 (with an SSD and a video card that you won't need) and it will transcode full 1080p HD video, MKV or otherwise, on the fly with no delay to my 360 or PS3 via TVersity. AND it does this all while currently underclocked and undervolted to 2.3 Ghz. I'm sure you could get a cheaper mobo than I have too.

Not saying to build something like mine, but just to give you an idea of the performance needed/not needed to stream 1080p.

FYI - The 360 seems to handle it much better. I have had numerous problems with stuttering and not being able to rewind/fast forward with my PS3. I have also had better luck with more file formats on the 360, the PS3 tends to be picky.Edited by DizturbedOne - 7/18/11 at 1:46pm

I'm not sure about transcoding. Ideally I want to be able to play my Photos, Music (MP3 320) and Videos (MKV 1080p/720p & Xvid) on my Xbox 360.

EDIT: Do you think a Fusion/Hudson could handle it?

Transcoding is converting a file format to another one (or to a different resolution/compression). This could be done in real-time with a good enough CPU. I believe a cheaper AMD Athlon II X4 would be more than enough but someone should confirm.

An AMD Zacate will not be able to do transcode streaming. If the files are converted already, it can stream.
